Question

1. the wood deck has recently been removed. what should you report?

options:

• nothing until you look inside the home
• rotted sill or beam below sliding door - possible extensive damage
• remaining step down is too high
• wood should be covered with flashing
• grading should be improved to slope away from the home

Explanation:

The image shows rotted wood (sill/beam) below the sliding door after deck removal. The other options don't match: no need to wait (first), step height not shown (third), flashing not relevant here (fourth), grading not the issue (fifth). So the rotted sill/beam with possible damage is correct.

Answer:

B. Rotted sill or beam below sliding door - possible extensive damage
